Is Crystal a real name or is that his Hollyweird homo name?

And Obama is a bastard, mongrel traitor who bows toward Mecca, or is it Sodom?

“.... Charismatic Crack Addict....”

I think he was shouting out Obama. If not which Republican candidate uses crack?

Dark Knight = Gingrich

American Psycho = Mittens Romney

Charismatic Crack Addict = Ron Paul

My take on it.

While on the subject, IMHO Christian Bale gave a stunning performance in American Psycho. If you consider yourself an avid movie watcher, you should see it. The guy is friggin intense.

The “business card” scene is just plain surreal.

I think the weak brained, drug addicted hollywood crowd gets confused between libertarian an liberal. The control freak lying leftist politians don’t bother correcting them.

The entire theater was filled with unquestioning liberal drones. The only thing that set Crystal apart was that the work he had done on his face was much worse than average.

We are in total agreement. I never liked him, and that was before he thought politics is warranted at an “non / partisan” awards ceremony,

Oh... and that goes for Bill Maher, who also has no talent. It would seem they appeal to those who hate American principals

It was once said that all you need are 10 million people who like you and you are a star. I guess there are that many libs.

part of the problem is that the oscar crowd takes the ceremony itself too seriously and acts like they have poles in certain places. It’s like they’re afraid that the entertainment will take away from their awards. I quit watching because I’ve been to more entertaining funerals.

There was a great moment at the Emmy’s this year. The nominees for best actress in a comedy series got the idea to go on stage as their names were announced and stand like pageant finalists. It was unexpected, very funny and didn’t take anything away from the actual award. It’s the only thing I can remember from any awards show in recent memory. If that kind of schtick was inserted regularly, I might be seduced into watching these self-congratulatory infomercials.

American Psycho is Paul (acts like it)
Charismatic Crack Addict is Romney (acts like it)
Dark Knight (which is not even a negative) can be the other two.

I don’t think it was meant to be positive but it end up being true at least with two.

My take on it is that I think they believe that liberalism will preserve the only two "rights" they have any use for ... abortion and sodomy.
